Common questions

Why do buyers verify their phone number?
Phone verification helps customers and cooks coordinate pickups safely and reliably. It also helps reduce fake accounts, spam orders, and abandoned pickups.
Does the public see my home address?
No. Public browse pages do not display full residential addresses. Customers typically receive detailed pickup instructions only after placing an order. Some cooks use public meetup locations and never expose a residential address at all.
What happens if a cook cancels?
If a cook needs to cancel or significantly change a pickup, they should update the customer through order coordination as quickly as possible. Repeated cancellations may lead to marketplace review.
Are all meals prepared in licensed kitchens?
Not always. Some meals may be prepared in home kitchens, while others may come from community or commercial kitchen spaces. Listings and disclosures help explain the preparation setting.
Can I report unsafe behavior?
Yes. Buyers and cooks can report harassment, unsafe pickups, misleading listings, repeated no-shows, suspicious behavior, food safety concerns, and abusive communication. Reports are reviewed by staff.
